Hi from the UK
Hi there from the UK! 
I've been a Jeep owner since 2000 when I bought a 98 XJ 4.0 (ex-demonstrator) from my local dealer. Was the family car for about a year when I caought the offroading bug.
It doesn't look the same as it did in 2000! Has suffered over time and sports a fine collection of dents, sratches etc. plus a 4.5" RE Superflex lift with 33" BFG's covered by Bushwackers. ARB lockers front and rear plus the usual skids, snorkel, roof rack, Daylighters etc. This is now my toy.
Also own a 2006 KJ 3.7 Petrol which is the family car.
Try to do most of the mods myself but use a friend if mine for the big stuff (suspension lift, lockers) as I just don't have the room at home.
I'm a regular on JeepForum and UK based www.birtydastardsjeepclub.com which also has a few US members.
Here's a pic of my and my Jeep!! Love it!!

Hi Dan
Thanks for the good comments. It's currently undergoing a bit of a front end rebuild at the moment with the addition of a Clayton HD Adjustable Track Bar (specifically for RHD XJ's), WJ knuckles and high HD steering.
Plan is to make the D30 stronger ready for a TnT Y link suspension upgraade. I've also got a rear D44 sitting in my workshop that I need to rebuild and install at sometime!!
